Re: the official Dwayne Wade >>> you thread

[dmize]

Lol @ Fraschilla biggin up Valuncianus by saying ask Jeremy Lamb about him, when it was common knowledge Lamb was the best player on the court in that u 19 USA - Lithuania game.

[dmize]

Monroe and Drummond going to be a great duo, can't wait. Andre looks happy but I know he's also pissed teams past over him, and will make them pay.

[dmize]

Hornets are gunna take Rivers if I had to guess

[Le Samourai]

Valancuinas MVP tho

Valancuinas MVP tho

Jeremy Lamb, 6-5 guard, UConn: "That kid can really play. His facial appearance and body language makes it appear that he doesn't care, but he does. His body is no worse than Rip Hamilton's was. When he played for the under-19 team in Lithuania, it was a tough final game, and he was the best player on the floor. It wasn't even close. He had a tough year at UConn, but it's not his fault."

-said by NBA Scouts. Lithuania won I believe which is why he got MVP.

Valunciunas is obviously the better prospect though and he probably woulda went #2 overall in this draft.

[McAgger]

Rivers will be a 6th man, there is no way he will bench Eric GOrdon or be able to play PG

[dmize]

I'm excited about Detroit next season. Who has a bigger frontcourt than them in the East now?

[McAgger]

Portland got a good team, Lillard will turn out to be as good as Westbrook imo, and Meyers Leonard will be a nice partner for Aldridge. Sign Batum again at the 3, and they have Crawford and Matthews at the 2. Legit Playoff contenders.

[Le Samourai]

Hopefully some of Monroe's Duncan esque game rubs off on Drummond.

Lillard as good as Westbrook? I doubt it...if he is then he is build around material.

[dmize]

Jeremy Lamb to the Rockets... Very nice pick, they got a top 5-6 talent at #12

[McAgger]

I wanted Lamb or Rivers in Phoenix, now I have no idea.

[McAgger]

Kendall Marshall it is, well he is a pass first guy, maybe he'll be half as good as Nash.

[Le Samourai]

Very smooth transition for Phoenix I guess.

Interesting that the guy they compare to Kidd is replacing Nash

[dmize]

Marshall to the Suns... Guess Nash is gone for sure

[dmize]

Sucks for Perry Jones... Woulda been a top 3-5 pick last year but he decided to stay in school.

[dmize]

Harkless to Philly.

I can see Houston taking either Zeller, PJIII, or White

[dmize]

Dallas taking a PG here? Wroten?
Edit: nope, Zeller

Royce White

Strengths: Super-intriguing prospect with lottery-level tools and talent ... Thick, powerful and intimidating frame ... Aggressive athlete that likes to attack the rim ... Possesses great speed for someone his size ... Runs the court extremely well, especially with the ball in his hands ... Doesn't have a problem with pulling down a defensive rebound and then leading the fast-break himself ... Remarkable ball-handler ... Doesn't have the loose dribble that a lot of other taller players have ... Sharp crossover that becomes deadly when he picks up some speed ... Passing ability rivals a lot of point guard prospects ... Good awareness of where his teammates are on the court and skilled at delivering the ball to them in a position to score ... Strong area rebounder ... Boxes out well ... Respectable mid-range shooter ... Has the strength and quickness to be an excellent scorer in the post ... Should be an incredibly difficult player to matchup against ... Won't be a great shot-blocker, but has all the tools to defend power forwards well in the NBA ... Led his team in points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks during his freshman season ...

Weaknesses: Overall scoring ability is very unrefined, though he's technically still a freshman so you have to allow him some leeway there ... Is not a good long-range shooter ... Shot under 50% from the stripe, which is a major problem considering he spends so much time in control of the ball ... When he picks up a lot of momentum (either in transition or in isolation) he can become very turnover prone ... Conditioning has been a concern ... Is not a true freshman; will be 21 years old by the 2012 draft ... Has had a number of off-court problems in the past, but reports indicate that his attitude has improved greatly ... Was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder in high school, which could lead to any number of problems at the next level and has been mentioned as a major cause for concern by a number of scouts. He has had trouble flying and a report surfaced that he chose to go to Iowa State and not Baylor because he didn't want to fly there. ...

Overall: White is a high risk/high reward prospect if there ever was one ... His development will have to be handled very carefully by whichever team drafts him ... If he's selected by a team that is willing to both be patient and let him play to his strengths, then he very well could be the steal of the draft ...

Interesting...

[dmize]

^ I like Royce White a lot, ever since he beasted against UConn in the tourney. He really can do it all as an SF, very very good passer. And has great speed for his size.

Rockets have done really well so far. I wonder if they'll look for a C or a PG at 18

[dmize]

RT @chadfordinsider: Mavs get the 24th, 33rd, and 34th pick from Cavs for draft rights to Tyler Zeller, according to source

Cavs are dumb as hell lmao

[Le Samourai]

Terrence Jones...

Why not just pick Perrry Jones..he is going to drop to Boston and Doc will turn him into some sort of phenom ffs.

Really hope that happens

[Le Samourai]

I don't even....

These centers who get taken halfway thorugh the first round, most of them never play a meaningful minute in the league lol.

[Le Samourai]

Andrew Nicholson

lol.

Nicholsons supposed to be pretty good, I haven't really seen much of him though.

And your boy Javale McGee went 18th
